One of the witnesses who came before the committee, and who lives close to me, said that the farmers in our area are still growing corn and soy. It is true that those are the most popular crops. However, when farmers always grow the same products, there is no crop rotation, and so the soil organic matter deteriorates. That is why I am asking this question. It's an education issue.
Does the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food record information on what is grown in the various parts of Canada? Is there a registry that allows you to access this data, or do you depend on the private sector for that?
